OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
For safe recliner operation:
1.
Always
lock all casters before allowing your occupant to get in or out of the chair, if equipped
with casters. Release the caster brakes
only
when the chair is being relocated; and reset the
caster brakes upon arriving at your destination. Never assume that the caster brakes have
been set; check to ensure that the caster brakes are engaged before helping anyone in or out
of the recliner.
WARNING: DO NOT enter or exit the chair with the leg rest extended.
2.
Occupant should always enter (or exit) the recliner with the chair in the upright position.
3.
Once seated the occupant should sit fully back in the chair.
4.
To recline to the “TV” Position, the occupant should grip the top of the chair arms and apply
pressure to the chair arms and chair back to start the chair moving back. To move further to
the Recline Position, continue to apply pressure backward. Note that it may be necessary that
the occupant reposition their grip on the arms, moving further back on the arm to move to the
recline position.
5.
Once in the Recline Position, staff may use the Trendelenburg feature by stepping on the pedal
on either side of the chair and pressing downward on the back of the recliner. The
Trendelenburg pedals are centered under the bottom of each arm. To return from
Trendelenburg, release pressure from the foot pedal and raise the back to the Recline Position.
The Trendelenburg pedal will automatically lock once to in the Recline Position. This prevents
the chair from going into Trendelenburg unexpectedly.
Staff assistance:
WARNING:
When closing the leg rest by hand, make sure your hand is placed on-
top of the upholstered surface of the footboard only, not under the edges or on the flip
board as this product has moving parts that may create pinch points. Keep all body
parts clear of the recline mechanism, latches, and other moving parts.
CAUTION: DO NOT “step” on the footrest to close the recliner. Doing so can
damage the recline mechanism.
CAUTION: This chair is NOT designed to transport occupants.
To assist an occupant in reclining the chair, simply apply backward pressure to the front of the
chair back pillow. This will start the recline motion and can be stopped in either position; “TV”
or full recline position. To move the chair from the Reclined Position back to the Upright
Position, apply upward pressure to the back, from the rear, to start the chair moving upward.
